We believe menstrual health is a matter of basic health and human dignity. Educate, Donate, Advocate. Girls Helping Girls. Period.

helps people stay at work and in school by providing them with essential menstrual health items which can be very expensive. We provide workshops for schools, groups and corporations on topics ranging from menstrual management (a fun, friendly way for young people to learn a lot) to period poverty and advocacy (great for high schools, colleges and corporate groups). We educate school boards, administrators and community about the need for free period products in school bathrooms as a matter of equity. Please reach out if you're interested in working with us.

"Any issue with your kid just walking out of school because they were too embarrassed to have to ask for a help for something they can do on their own?"

Periods are normal. Missing class for them shouldn’t be. Every day students all across the United States simply leave school rather than have to struggle to find a pad in the office, with the nurse, or from a friend.

Can you imagine doing this with boys who need toilet paper?

HELP STOP THIS TERRIBLE TREND OF INEQUITY. Push your district to provide free products in all school bathrooms.

📆Want to help your child start to learn how to track their period:
1- Use a paper calendar - it’s important to understand that a menstrual cycle is unique to your own body. A paper calendar is like doing math the long way… once you understand what is happening, it’s ok to use tools that help with the calculations.
2- Only track the 1st day of each period to start. That is all you need to be able to calculate the length of cycles. It’s the length of time from Day 1 of a period to Day 1 of the next period.
3- DO NOT share your personal health data through apps (period tracking, pregnancy tracking, etc.) unless you understand what you might be giving up in privacy. Many period trackers are also using your data… for advertising, to share with other companies or who knows what else.

Let’s make sure every young person gets the education they deserve. 💪

We are thrilled to partner on our educational workshops this year with the Marilyn S. Broad Foundation family foundation. Several members of the family joined us for a recent workshop and we’re so happy to show them what their kindness allows, and to maybe teach them a thing or two!⁣

Meeting emergency need is critical. But don’t kid yourself, you are not solving Period Poverty at all if you are not also working to change the system that forces people to get donations of period products rather than just finding them in all of the bathrooms!⁣
⁣
Take a look at the place where you work— Your school. Your local library. Your church. Are there free products in the bathroom? If there aren’t, can you make that happen? THAT is real change. THAT is a solution to the underlying problem.⁣
⁣
Let’s really solve this! Period Poverty can end if we do the real work.⁣

And Elise could not care less about the hair. Periods don’t stop for bad hair days. And neither does she.⁣

Why are period workshops SO critical?

Period Stigma... This educator explains just how that plays out in her school.

Period stigma leaves so many uninformed, and vulnerable to embarrassment, fear, infection and shame.

➡️You can help us break this cycle by supporting our programs. And thank you.
